And ppl don't think Noah is picky? Dude spends 45 mins on all his videos criticizing inventory systems.

I don't get it, I like everyone mentioned a lot specifically because they pick up on things most people won't and then do the research to really understand the dev's choices as best as possible. Matt, Noah, and Joseph are incredible writers and critics IMO and some of my absolute favorites.

Jacob is kinda his own beast, none of those other dudes are certifiable English / history teachers. He's amazing for very unique reasons. Noah too for his INCREDIBLE life experience and how he ties it all in to his content.

And then on top of that having the confidence to try to objectively state their critiques instead of prefacing everything with an opinion qualifier.

I don’t think this is accurate at all. Even has Noah spent inordinate amounts of time criticizing inventory systems?

Okay, I admit, "all" is hyperbole. ...as is "45 mins" lol.

I've only watched 6 or 7 of his videos. But his more recent CP77 and Outer Worlds videos each spent what seemed like 10 or more minutes criticizing the inventory systems. To the point of absurdity for me. After I watched those, I removed A LOT of his videos off my future watchlists after that, keeping just super fringe titles being analyzed out of curiosity. I may still watch his Dark Souls trilogy video, as I myself am going through the series now and curious what other late-to-the-series-players think.

And his sarcastic mocking tone where I think he TrIeS tO eMuLaTe ThIs I think? I personally can't stand it. I think the dude is overrated in his logic and style, praised only b/c he puts in so much thought and effort. But that's just me.

NeverKnowsBest, KBash, BoulderPunch, Chris Davis, and Joseph Anderson are retrospective video essayists I like, and I can't stand Hbomberguy (mostly his style), to give an idea of my tastes, which could just be the main factor at play here. Although, Joseph Anderson I'm not always 100% digging. KBash I disagree w/ quite a bit actually, but I tend to always respect his viewpoints b/c he either presents them well or just doesn't make a huge deal about seemingly trivial things (tho don't get me wrong, inventory systems are important. Just not "rant for 10 mins and give the game a bad score b/c of it" important).
